    If you just run Viber for PC, then it is offline all the time, and messages do not go through. There were no problems with the Internet and no (dedicated line, direct connection) and everything worked before. When you try to update, Windows writes that the program performed an incorrect operation. Updated manually to version 7.0. Then I launch Viber on a PC under the admin, enter the phone number, the activation code comes to the smartphone, but there is nowhere to enter it on the PC! The waiting waiting arrow is spinning.

    Good day! I have a Windows XP SP3 computer Home Edition and until today I had Viber installed and working perfectly (just yesterday). But, today I turn on the computer, but Viber does not start and does not give any errors. I decided to reinstall it - I downloaded it from the official site latest version Viber 6.0.1.5, I start the installation, I agree with the License, then the installation starts and at some point it stops and gives an error: 0x80070653 - it is not possible to open this installation package. Check that the package exists and can be accessed, or contact the program vendor to ensure that this installation is correct. Windows package... What to do? Viber is very necessary on a PC for work.

      It is possible that the installation service is incorrectly configured. Try the following: 1) Go to Control Panel - Administrative Tools - select "Services" - at the bottom of the pop-up window there is "Windows Installer" - open it by double clicking. A window has opened - select "General": - look at the line "startup type" - there should be "manual" - as an executable file: C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ msiexec.exe / V 2) Go to the "Dependencies" tab. It should read the following: "Remote Procedure Call (RPC)". 3) Perhaps the reason lies in the association of the program for the .msi files. To check this, open "Start" - "Control Panel" - "Programs" - then "Default Programs" - "Set Mapping". Matching is not specified, or there is no Windows Installer? Fix it. Any of this should help.

We all know that equipment sometimes fails, and even the most reliable programs can get capricious during installation. Why isn't Viber installed on my phone or computer? We will try to sort out all possible problems.

Are you thinking "Why can't I download and install Viber on my Android gadget (let's say)?" The main cause of installation problems is poor or no internet connection. Whatever gadget you use, before downloading and installing the application, be sure to check how the router works and whether the mobile network is available.

This reason is, so to speak, common. Now let's figure out why Viber is not installed on different devices... Let's start with the phone.

Telephone

  • Often users complain "I can not install Viber on my phone, it gives a connection error." The system usually issues errors if there is a disconnect between the application version and the device firmware version. Very often, for this reason, Viber is not installed on the iPhone 4, because updates for this model have ceased to be released in the AppStore. If you use a gadget that came out several years ago, specify which version of the messenger will be relevant for him - and download it
  • The problem "I can't install Viber on my phone" is sometimes solved by simply clearing the device's memory. Sometimes users, especially owners of gadgets with a large amount of internal memory, simply do not think that the application may not be installed for this reason. But, nevertheless, it cannot be ruled out. Trust availability free memory, and, if necessary, get rid of unnecessary files and applications.
  • And Viber is also installed, but on Android devices of those users whose the account was blocked by the system. If you were blocked for mailing, even by reinstalling Viber, you will not be able to enter it until the administrator removes the block or the sim card is replaced
  • Problems can occur if the device already installed the application itself or saved files after it
  • It is not downloaded or installed for approximately the same reasons


Viber cannot be installed on a tablet for reasons similar to both a computer and a smartphone. Here you need to check how the Internet works, whether there is enough memory, the firmware version, and most importantly, whether the smartphone with an active messenger is turned on (if the tablet is without a sim card).

A computer

  • A problem when installing an application on a PC may be the fact that at this time a smartphone with an already activated messenger is disabled
  • Download the desired program sometimes the antivirus installed on the PC does not provide. Disable this program for a while and try to install it again
  • There is not enough free space on the drive to install the application. Check if this is so, and, if necessary, free up the required amount of memory for the messenger
  • When installing Viber on Windows, a firewall can interfere with the process. To solve this problem, add Viber to the list of exceptions.

By the way, for what reason, it is described in a separate article on our website.

Unfortunately, for one reason or another, it also happens that Viber is not installed on a computer or on mobile device... And there can be quite a few reasons for this. It is worth considering the most common ones.

Why Viber is not installed

Among the most common reasons for the failure of the Viber installation are the following:

  • An outdated version of the operating system on the device, or the outdated device itself;
  • Too weak connection to the Internet, or its complete absence;
  • Lack of free space on the drive;
  • The device already has previous version Viber;
  • Available system files prevent the installation of a new version of the messenger;
  • The faulty "broken" archive with the program was downloaded.

If you know why it is not installed on Android or any other operating system, then you can quickly and solve the problem.

What can be done if Viber is not installed

So, you need to act by the method of elimination, taking turns iterating over all possible options... Often, users try to install Viber on a device for which the messenger is simply not intended. For example, an outdated smartphone or computer. Although the list of systems supported by Viber is quite large (today it includes such operating systems as: BlackBerry OS, Series 40, Symbian, Bada, Windows Phone and, of course, Android and iOS), on some devices it, as they say, "will not work." The same goes for outdated devices. The conclusion is logical: you need to either update the operating system to a more current state, or change the device.

If Viber is not installed on a computer or phone, then you should also pay attention to the quality of the Internet connection. The installer downloads the necessary files from the Internet, so it is quite possible that at the moment there is simply not enough power of the Internet channel. An installation error may also be related to a lack of free space on the drive or hard disk. Accordingly, we get rid of unnecessary "junk" on the disk. It is possible that one or another version of Viber is already installed on the device. It is impossible to install two copies of the messenger within one logical partition on the disk. If there is a need to install two programs at once, you can advise to partition the disk into logical partitions and install each copy on its own partition. Or install one Viber on the built-in storage in the phone, and the other, for example, on an SD card.

Quite often it turns out that even before the installation of Viber, a different version of this messenger was already on the device. In this case, it is quite possible that the "junk" files left after deletion prevent the correct installation. old version programs. You can recommend using special system cleaners. You can, of course, delete all this system "junk" manually, but it is too long and difficult. But it copes with this task perfectly, for example, Ccleaner program... It is available in both computer and mobile versions.

Ccleaner is free. It will completely remove the program from the disk, and system registry clean it properly. Finally, there is a possibility that the so-called "broken archive" with the program was simply downloaded. So you should look for a working installer.


  • From the official website of the project: https://www.viber.com/ru/;
  • Or from the Google Play store: https://play.google.com/;
  • Apple device users can look into their iTunes store: https://itunes.apple.com/ru.

The program is downloaded completely free of charge and does not imply any additional payment for messaging and even for calls within the network. In the end, if nothing helps at all, then you can ask the question why Viber is not installed on the phone, in the service technical support users. At the same time, it is desirable to describe as concisely as possible but fully the essence of the problem that has arisen, system characteristics and the operating system used on the device. You can also attach a screenshot to your message. I. get ready to answer sometimes many questions. However, it is highly likely that they will really help to get out of the situation.
